BUFFALO, NY/FORT ERIE, ON – The Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority (Peace Bridge Authority) is pleased to announce that it will not charge tolls on Thursday, December 25, 2014, in celebration of the Christmas holiday. The toll-free period will be in effect for 24 hours beginning at 12:00 a.m. Christmas morning.
“Not charging tolls on Christmas Day is a nice way to conclude the year and say thank you to our employees and customers,” said Authority General Manager Ron Rienas.“And we’ll also have the bridge illuminated in festive holiday colors that same evening.”

The bridge, which was opened to traffic in 1927, spans the Niagara River between Fort Erie, Ontario, and Buffalo, New York, and is a key international border crossing. The Authority is governed by a 10 member board with an equal number of representatives from Canada and the United States.
